Version 1Am Born in the middle of the afternoon D G Am In a horsedrawn carriage on the old A-5 The big twelve wheeler shook my bed D Am D Em You can't stay here the policeman said Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am Born in the common by a building site D G Am Where the ground was rutted by the trail of wheels The local Christian said to me D Am D Em You'll lower the price of property Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am Born at the back of a hawthorn hedge D G Am Where the black hole frost lay on the ground No eastern kings came bearing gifts D Am D Em Instead the order came to shift Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am The eastern sky was full of stars D G Am And one shone brighter than the rest The wise men came so stern and strict D Am D Em And brought the orders to evict Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am Wagon tent or trailer born D G Am Last month, last year or in far off days Born here or a thousand miles away D Am D Em There's always men nearby who'll say Am G D Em You'd better get born in some place else Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift Am G Move along get along Am G Move along get along F G Am Go! Move! Shift!
